Dishonesty Heeds Excuses." '
Men knowingly engaged in dis
honest practices are always hunting
for excuses.'
When a candidate seeking votes
for a responsible position of honor
and trust as the nominee of a party
in the same breath disloyally re
pudiates the national standard bear
ers of his party, he naturally feels
that . explanations ' are due and
grasps at any flimsy pretext within
reach. The repetition of the charge
that President Taft is not the duly
chosen nominee of the republican
party and that no republican is
under any moral obligation to sup
port him, may ease a' person's con
science, but it does not change the
record nor give a shadow pf sub
stance to any claim that Roosevelt
had, or should have had, a majority
of the rightful delegates In the con
vention. . The patriotism of the
country is not all in the keeping of
one person, and his followers, nor
will any intelligent person believe
that all the delegates at Chicago fa
voring the colonel were pure
minded, self-sacrificing philanthro
pists, and all those favoring Taft
were black-bearteQ rascals and
knaves.
Everybody's Magazine will hardly
be accused of being biased toward
the president or prejudiced against
the colonel, it being well known as
one of the vehicles of the muck-rake
brigade that stirred up the ground
of so-called reform. Yet in its re
view of the conventions it refrains
from crying "fraud" or denouncing
folks as "thieves." On the contrary
It says: .
Speaking of this year, we rest on the
assurance of a man who has seen a good
many conventions In the past and three
this summer. There were sordid poli
ticians, shady influences, and insincere
attitudes .in all the conventions. There
were trades . and compromises, . selfish,
men voicing lofty sentiments, and adroit
men thinking morel of the effect plat
form utterances Would have than of the
underlying truth in them. :
With all this dilution of human weak
ness the conventions-all of thenvwere
made up mostly of good American citi
zens, who want fair play for themselves
and every one else, who love their coun
try and want to see it honest, prosperous
and peaceful. They may be fooled softie-
times. But In the mass they are not to
be distrusted, even In national politics.
Uot the Eight Season. '
Few - women - voted,, many explaining
that the ballot was too complicated.
Press report of the Colorado primary.
Now, without entering into tne
merits or demerits of suffrage, we
protest in the name of the women
against this preposterous reflection
upon the sex. ,
It is not as if this were the first
trial,' or an experiment in Colorado,
for the women have teen voting
there for years, and are as adept as
the men at manipulating naiiots, no
matter how long or how confusing.
' How, then, could a ballot witb
which the men have successfully
grappled be too complicated for the
women?' ''. ' ' '
. No; no! There must be some other
reason,
Rigid Quarantine for the Scourge.
Undue excitement will not allay
the malady raging among horses In
southwestern Nebraska and adjoin
lnn states, but the' utmost diligence
and scientific treatment will. ' The
federal and state authorities are both
at work iu earnest to discover the
nature, cause and cure' of the epi
demic. In this there should be ab
solute harmony and co-pperatlon.
If the disease has killed 6,000 horses
in a month in Kansas, that is all the
warning necessary. The governor
of Kansas has offered $l,00d for a
cure. Veterinarians and live stock
men are searching for it, but in the
meantime the dispatching by the fed
eral authorities of , experts to Ne
braska and Kansas' to lead in ' the
fight for relief is timely, i
In this, as in the case of other con
tagious epidemics,, rigid quarantine'
should be adhered to. , Where so
little is still known of a disease as
to prevent ; satisfactory diagnosis,
quarantine is. regarded as the first
requisite in order to cut off commu
nication between affected and un
affected subjects. Strangely enough,
this malady among horses seems to
be spinal, resembling infantile par
alysis. It would be a great thing it
the afflicted horses should give us
the preventive or cure for the human
ailment, v. v

for the past fifty years have been

must have been In a bad way to
have showered eminence and honor
upon "criminals" in the belief that
they were "statesmen. Be a little
more specific, "Bill,' and give us
the names of the "statesmen" who
are not criminals so we may erect
suitable monuments to them.
Building a New, State House..
The action of the executive com
mlttee of the Omaha Commercial
club in declaring for a new capltol
building at Lincoln Is but the re
statement of a need that h&s beeQ
apparent for a long time. The pres
ent structure is open to about all the
objections tnat mignt oe loaged
against a public building. It is an
tiquated and unsafe as the storehouse
of the state's archives. It does not
contain sufficient room to properly
house the officials of the state. Each
day it continues is one of danger to
the lives of its occupants and to the
priceless records of the state.
r The limitation placed by the con
stitution on the indebtedness of the
state will preclude.the issue of bonds,
but some other y satisfactory and
feasible plan for meeting the cost of
a new capitol building ought to be
worked out by the next legislature.
The state of Nebraska Is sufficiently
wealthy to be able to afford adequate
charters for Its government '

THE M0EAL ISSUE
By Hon. Albert J. Coraish, .
Cedge of the Dlstriot Court, Lincoln, Van.
15 THREE PAETS PAET TO. .
In his Columbus speech, Mr. Roosevelt
announced his advocacy of the initiative,
referendum and recall. This was the
basks plank of the populist party, in
none of his previous campaigns had he
uttered a word In Its favor. It has been
popularised , by La Follette and Bryan.
It has been adopted in many western
states by the vote of members of all parr
ties, and was growing in favor. Mr.
Roosevelt's tardy conversion Is, there
fore, subject to suspicion. - A strong sen
timent developed in the east among busi
ness men who feared thaty the recall of
Judges would destroy' the Independence
and integrity of the courts. The Union
League club of New fork, of which Mr,
Roosevelt was a member, was one of the
many organizations that denounced It.
His defeat in the New York primaries
was largely due to this Influence.
Thereupon, Mr. Roosevelt's campaign
committee In New York sent out a cir
cular letter stating that the recall of
judges applied solely to states, and had
no application to the federal courts.
In. other words, Mr. Roosevelt favored
the recall of judges in the states like
Nebraska, Where Judges are elected for
four year terms, and permitted his cam
paign committee to pledge him not to ap
ply it to the federal judges appointed for
life.
This further JusUfies the suspicion that
.political expediency rather than deeb- i
seated conviction brought about his con- !
version. j
WeH t BMlatons.
Mr. Roosesvelfs original amendment to
the "recall of judges," is a "recall of de
cisions"' means of reversing the Judg
ment of courts without ealllng into ques
tion the integrity of the judge. : It re
mind, one of Sheridan's words, "Stea'7
To e sura they will, and serve your best
thoughts as gypsies do stolen chlldreh
dlsfigwe them to make them pass for
their own." No leading advocate of the
"recall" baa adopted the amendment.
The strength of democracy consists ft
the fact that the people, whatever may
be their fitness to discuss abstract ques
tions of law, are the best Judges of the
Integrity, sympathy and temperament of
the itaen ehoneri as their servants. Even
a child Intuitive distinguishes between
those who Wve him nd those who don't.
The amendment by Roosevelt Would per
mit eortstituflohal provisions to be
amended piecemeal under the Influence of
passion, prejudice and personal Interest
to meet the exigencies of some particular
case, instead of being uniform, broad and
general In thetr application. The aniend
iWMit which Mr. Roosevelt has engrafted
On the Inltlattve, referendum and recall
weakens those democratic measures in
ever? State Where they have not already
been adopted and must be considered At
designed for that purpose or else illus
tratrve of aft egotism that will approve
of adfhmg that he cannot brand as his
eWh erewtron.
Ballot for Women.
Mr. Roosevelt's IhOBt enthusiastic sup
porters today are Women. They seem to
rorget tnat th ballot had been extended
to women In si states whose eleotoral
vote was much needed before, Mr. Roose
velt extended to them any encouragement
He bid made himself conspicuous by r.
peating the advice of Napoleon that the
woman was most useful to the state who
Woutff fear the rhdst ; chfldreir for his
armies, ' $ - ft . , -4
When, preparatory fa the present Cam
paign, he put out a bait for. the support
of women In the states where they' could
vote, he doubled his tracks 'so that he
could appear to toe. moving In efther di
rection. He said, In substance, that th
good which sortie promised and the evfl
which some feared from the enfranchise,
ment of women had not taken place. On
the whole, he considered an Improve
ment. He believed that U should be
left to a ballot of women themselves, In
Which every women who did not vote
Should be counted as votfng "No." As a
practical' politician, he knew well that It
Js almost impossible to get more than
per Cent to 70 per cent of the voters
to the polls on an Issue of this kind. His
scheme, therefore, would permit a Small
percentage of the women to defeat the
measure. He pointed out to the op
ponents of woman suffrage in states
where they had not the ballot an easy,
plausible, deceptive, tricky way of de
featlng it under , the appearance of
chivalry and nonconcern. . '
As one who actively I favored woman
suffrage when the amendment to the con
stlrot'on Was presented to the people of
Nebraska, I think I am In a position to
Counsel the advocates of woman suffrage
that their success Jn six states will very
speedily bHng the ballot in all the
States, and that they cannot afford to
BTrtagonia their friends in all parties by
selecting One party for their support.
Their enthusiasm for Mr. Roosevelt
cripples tholr cause by Justifying the
charge that women fere by nature
emotional and excitable rather than rea
scnin. , I believe the state needs the
greater refinement f feeling, the higher
rnoral purposes, and more delicate, sense
of honor which Characterise women, and
that these virtue" should find expression
5n the ballot, but for that very reason
the Women in this campaign should have
pois. They should recognise that that
1" not the issue In this election. They
should manifest their peculiar fitness for'
the ballot by rebuking time-servmg. politi
cs aeception and demogogery. They
should show their opposition to' animal
killing, man killing and border ruffian
htm In manners and speech. By so doing
only In this campaign can they advance
their cause with thinking men.
Roosevelt mnd Lincoln. ....
It is said that Lincoln Is the only
president beside himself of whom Roose
velt has spoken praise. He frequently
quotes from Lincoln, and especially the
phrase that this shall be a "Govern
ment of the people, by the people and for
the people." In his Guildhall speech in
London he egotistically and imprudently
rebuked the English government for its
attempt V establish local self-govern-ment
in Egypt As an expreeident and
most honored tlvitig exponent of this
"government of the people, by the
people arid for the people," he said that
all people were not fit for self-government,
: and the Egyptians should he
ruled with s stronger haad. . Considering
who was spesAfbg, and where he spoke,
he blasphemed the highest Ideals of the
American people. ''
HesMvelt aad the Negro,
It is not surprising, therefore, that he
should tell the black population of the
south that they could have no voice in
his convention, and that white suprem
acy In the south must be recognised, it
the northern negro has progressed, as
Mr. Roosevelt stated In flattering
SMILING KEMASKS.
phrase, and the southern negro has not
progressed, an honest follower of LlncOttti
should Inquire what the. difference has
been in the environment that has re
sulted in such unequal growth. If the
only difference has been the recognition
of a negro's rights in one place and the
denial of them . In another, a fearless
champion of right should strenuously
undertake to remedy the ' wrong, Or
cease to pose as a second Lincoln.
The problem In the south is not sim
ply a race question. It is also a labor
question. Should the negroes be counted
in fixing representation given to the
southern states in congress, if they are
not permitted to vote? ft so happens
that the laboring population in the -south
is the, colored population In the south.
When 'these men are disfranchised by
reason of their color, the great major
ity at ssjuthern laborers are made unable
to express their choice for congressmen,
senators and presidential electors. It
amounts to a discrimination against the
laboring population, not ' Ohly1 "In the
south but In the north. They have" not
equal representation m the making of
laws. If Mr. Roosevelt was incef In
believing that ft was best for the col
ored people to be deprived of the ballot
In' the southern states, he should follow
It up by advocating the enforcement of
that provision in the constitution of the
United States, adopted to meet just this
condition, providing that the representa
tion In the southern states in ongress
be reduoed in like manner. .: Otherwise,
he not only condemns a helpless race and
nullifies the results of a disastrous war,
but also betrays the laborers every
where who look to hlra for leadership.
"Oh," his admirers say, "he Is only rec
ognizing existing facts and making con
cessions that concede nothing, as a
means cf disrupting the democratic
party." A cunning politician, indeed!
As a matter of fact, be is conceding the
principle that animated Lincoln and tb
soldiers of the civil war for personal,
partisan gain.
For the purpose of his own campaign
for a third term, he is conceding the one
thing which is the great fault of the
democratic party, . and makes a large
number of republican distrust any per
manent reform eomlnf through that
pifrty while it Is dominated by a section
that refuses the ha'ilot to a "majority of

a race of equality before the law. It 1s
because of this lacK of eonfldece In the
dominating majority of the democratic
party that many 'republicans today are
seeking to protect their organization as
the party that stands fdr freedbm and

shameless betrayal of Mr. Rooservelt.
Roosevelt and War. . ' r:
Mr. Rotfseve'lt Claims to be the world's
greatest promoter of peace amongst na
tions, illustrated by his part In promot
ing peace between Russia and Japan. HIS
method of securing peace amongst ha
tlohs Is to have a larger navy and army.
He points with pride to the trip of out
navy around the "World,, and Imbues an
imaginative public, hot yet far enough
advanced from the militant state ,of so
ciety of the middle ages, with' a desire
for a Still larger navy and army. It Is a
strange fact that there never was a war
waged except as" claimed -by the parties)
to preserve peace. There never wasi a
large military organisation that tended
to prevent War except Indirectly by Im
poverishing the people. '
His Influence secured the defeat of the
peace treaties, the greatest step thus far
proposed toward the Intelligent arbitra
tion of controversies between ,' nations.
HIS statement that a nation ' or a man
could not arbitrate a question of honor,
implying that a question of morals and
right action could be settled more justly
by an appeal to brue force than to hu
man reason, fe a return to a militant
state of society and will assist to pro
long the period of barbaric man-killing
called "war." If it be true, as some
times stated, that his objection to the
peace treaties is based upon his unwill
ingness to submit to arbitration the al
leged grievances of the government of
Colombia, his motives are most blame
worthy.' Tf there is any government With
whom we should be willing to arbitrate
controversies, it should be the little,
helpless governments. Otherwise we be
have like a bully amongst nations. We
hope thatyilr. Roosevelt did ' not usurp
any power or commit any wrong in the
acquisition of the Panama territory, but
if in a hearing before an intelligent and
Just tribunal it should develop that he
did, the American people would rather
pay for the canal tone again, and again,
and again than to be ourselves a po
sition where when good people all over
the world are praynig for arbitration
as a means of preventing the Inhumani
ties of war, we cannot say "Amenll

In the softly fading twilight ;
Of a weary, weary day, .
With a quiet step 1 entered
Where the children were at play;
I Was brooding 'O'er some trouble ,
Which had met me unawares, ...
When a littlo voice came ringin, '
"M is creeping up the stair.: .!
Ah, it touched the tenderest heart-strings
With a breath and force divine,
And Such melodies awakened
As no wording can define.
And I turned to see our darling.
All forgetful of my cares,
When I saw. the little creature
Slowly creeping up the Stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered .
On her little hands and kneesA .
Keeping up a constant chattering,
Like a magpie in the trees, '
Till at lat she reached the topmost ,
IWhen o'er all her world's affairs '
She delightfully stood a victor
After creeping up the stairs. '
Fainting heart, behold an Image
Of -man's brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With a noble, earnest strife;
Onward, upward reaching ever,
Bending to the weight of eares,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
.We go creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet, 1
By their side may be no rail; '-,
Hands and knees may often pain us.
And the heart may almost fall;
Still above there is the glory, - ' .
Which no sinfulness impairs, ' .
With Its joy and Test forever.
After creeping tip the stairs.
